How does ScanSource help partners deploy rugged mobile devices at scale?

Our project rollout management team can also support phased, multi-site deployments from start to finish.
-
What is the difference between a mobile computer and a barcode scanner?
A barcode scanner is a dedicated device designed primarily to read and transmit barcodes—ideal for high-volume scan tasks like checkout or receiving. A mobile computer combines scanning capability with a full operating system (typically Android), enabling workers to run applications, communicate, and process data while on the move. ScanSource carries both device types and can help partners match the right form factor to the end user's workflow.
-
Does ScanSource offer RFID solutions for inventory and asset tracking?
Yes. ScanSource carries RFID readers, antennas, tags, and integrated RFID-enabled mobile computers from vendors including Zebra and Honeywell. Our team can support partners in designing RFID-based inventory management, asset tracking, and supply chain visibility solutions—from single-location pilots to enterprise-wide rollouts.
-
Can ScanSource support a device-as-a-service (DaaS) model for mobility deployments?
ScanSource offers financing and flexible procurement options that enable partners to build DaaS and managed mobility offerings for their end customers. By combining hardware, services, and technology lifecycle management through ScanSource, partners can offer predictable monthly cost models that reduce upfront customer investment and create recurring revenue.
